Using Finite Element Analysis in the 3D Printing of Metals

Over the last few years, Additive Manufacturing, or as it is sometimes known, 3D printing, has become a significant research field for researchers worldwide. The necessity to increase strength of materials and minimize their weight in automotive aviation industries urged engineers scientists conduct more investigations identify manufacturing methods replace classical ones. involves building geometry layer by from wide range materials, which helps utilize efficiently while minimizing amount waste produced well build complex, large geometries light-weight components. Furthermore, minimizes fabrication processing times. In this paper, three different alloys were printed (TiAl6V4, AlSi10Mg 316L) using MSC Simufact software investigate effect changing machines on effective stress surface deviation. thermal analysis mechanical, thermomechanical calibrations carried out determine parameter set consisting laser power, inherent strains, fraction exposure energy volumetric expansion factor.
